AITA for resigning my job?

Originally posted on r/AITA I(f25) worked for a small family-owned company with around 35 workers for 5 years. One of the receptionists resigned on the 4th of April and since then he didn't hire anyone. Today, I choose to resign since I got a better offer somewhere else plus I would finally be able to get away from the stress, anxiety depression, and gossip of this job. My boss counter proposed by saying he would increase my salary if I take more responsibilities. I told him that I am already overworked and cannot take the pressure anymore yet he replied by saying work is more important. When I informed him that my decision has already been made he told me that I was ungrateful and disloyal and that he doesn't want to see my face anymore. He also told me that I would have to give my 1 month's notice…

Current wages are laughable

I'm na 51 year old man, I'm looking at these posts of pictures you all post on here and I'm seriously disgusted at what the offer for employment. These “wages” was what I was making twenty to thirty years ago. What the hell people, I'm not necessarily pro union, but if it's a good union try to get it where you work. Keep standing up for yourself.

The World Economic Forum is having its big annual meeting in Davos next week. There will a lot of talk from CEOs about “stakeholder capitalism” and “ESG metrics”; about how companies have stepped up for workers during the pandemic. Remember, it’s all empty talk meant to appease the lower orders.

Having a billion dollars doesn’t magically grant you an understanding of the magnitude of a billion.

People are phenomenally bad at gauging what a million or billion or trillion of something actually means. This link explores just how bad we are. When you think about it, it's terrifying to have someone in control of something so powerful with almost no real grasp of what they have.
